Captain Jim is still my favourite as could be seen by it being the only one now missing the paper cover. A while back I read it again as a writer to try and see just what Mary Grant Bruce did, how she wrote it to make me enjoy it so much.Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-28572247624962702742015-05-29T05:24:26.605+10:002015-05-29T05:24:26.605+10:00FANTASTIC interview!

I wish I had known about reviewer programs before I started writing for publication! Now I can only review a handful of books a year because of writing deadline, etc., but before I started writing I was reading one or two books a week. My very favorite children's books are the Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace. They are set in a fictional town called Deep Valley, Minnesota around the turn of the twentieth century. A bit reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie, but in a different era. So fun to be here today. :)Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-83773608822811628802015-05-26T12:38:12.199+10:002015-05-26T12:38:12.199+10:00As a former lawyer, Rita, I love Joh Grisham's...As a former lawyer, Rita, I love Joh Grisham's novels, too :) Thanks for sharing!Relhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857426893482706263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-75163923204816525552015-05-26T11:06:56.811+10:002015-05-26T11:06:56.811+10:00Well, I know you and Rel.

Um, I used to read by the light of the moon till my mum caught me out. She compromised by allowing me an extra 30 mins reading time before bed.<br />I'm reading nonfiction now written about the early days in the beyond of the Outback (NT) from a real young girl's POV. I love Grisham stories and try to read widely and not solely romance... which I l-o-v-e-.Like Narelle I write great wads in my travels.
